Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented 31,

Application filed November 20, 1903. Serial No. 63,627.

bottle and controlling valve for the neck, lliereo'l' which are simple oi COHSllHCUOI1,'

cosy and cheap to nnniui'zurture, and adapted to render the operation of refilling so dif-,

iicult and to require so much time as to be unprolitnblo.

The invention consists of the features of construction, combination end arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, reference being hadto the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a vertical section through the upper portion of the body and the neck of a bottle einbodying niy invention, showing the valve closed. 2 is a similar view of the bottle inverted for the disclu rge of its contents and with the vnlvcopen.

vreferring to the drmving, l d body of a bottle, vhich may be 0. any fer-red form, and 2 is the neck of the bottle,

' "n11 tes the which is contracted at its lower end to form the neck beino outwardl Y bowed or swelled as shown.

A ball-valve 5 is provided t the seat 3 and is movable within the neck. This valve inserted initially through the month i and. may be formed of metal or other suitable material, and'cither solid or hollow. is of proper size to snugly drop down upon and engage the sent 3 by gravity and prevent the dischn rgeoi liquid from line bottle when lhe latter is erect. The valve will also lloat to its seal and close tho'ncck against the in- I gross of liquid when the bottle issubzne or inverted, and ittends to close under 0'' conditions when an attempt is made to duce liquid, thus rendering the operuth refilling; a diilicult and tediousone. able forzuninous guard. may be provided 1 in the neck to prcvent access to the v by a wire or tool to hold lhe vs. ?e u:

A valve controlling device 6 is prov:

regulate the movements of the valve. .i is preferably formed of a piece wire, theend portions 7 of which ranged in parallel relation and sni J cured to the head to form a shank, which supports a stop 8 formed by the central poo tion or" the wire. This stop is of segmental form and is connected with'thc shank por tions '4' by inturnedoffsets 9 and junction coils 10. The stop 8 as thus conzted is 1 oi greater length than the diameter, the

seat outlet 3 and presents curved shoulders or llukes 11 adapted to engage the wall of the neck below said seat outlet to limit the opening, movement of the valve.

as the stop passes beyond the contraced sent it will expand so that its fiukes 11 will oi i'cctually prevent its extraction. Tillie construction and provision of the coils also iu jars arising from forcible contact of the llukes with the bottle wall will be taken up and liability of injury to the par vented. By using a forziniinous gu ,the character described refilling of the bott e will be made practically impossible or r dared so diiiicult or tedious as to be unprofitable.

Havin thus fully described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

A bottle having a valve seat th oi its neck, 9. valve movable in. t, toward and from said seat, and a controlling;device formed of wire provide u shank composed of a it Will be seen that the construction of the valve and its controlling device is such the some may be initially inserted tin-oi I the mouth i into the neck, and the connroh ling device forced, by its ability to contract, into the body of the bottle,,but that as soon so sure a spring action, by which shocks and S5 s aced stems dependin from the valve into t e body of the hott. e, a segmental-looptions of said loop being connected with the lower ends of the stems, and spring coils in said inturned portions at their juncture with. the stems. i

testimony whereof I aflix my signature in bresenc'e of two witnesses.
